Optus Tests NBIoT, Dynamic Spectrum Sharing with Ericsson

In a further show of its 5G technology leadership Optus, in partnership with Ericsson, has achieved a world first delivering coexistence of narrow band IoT (NBIoT) and Ericsson Spectrum Sharing between 5G and 4G on the 700MHz spectrum layer.

The use of this cutting-edge technology will assist in unlocking a quick and cost-effective way to enable 5G services on low frequency spectrum bands, giving a boost in 5G coverage, without compromising the excellent customer experience offered by mid-band 5G services.

Importantly, utilising Ericsson Spectrum Sharing (Ericsson’s unique dynamic spectrum sharing solution) on the 700MHz spectrum layer will maintain the 4G and NBIOT user experience while significantly extending the reach of 5G coverage for 5G users, both indoors and outdoors, helping to connect customers to 5G in the places that matter to them.

“To ensure we offer our customers the best 5G network possible, it’s important to innovate together with our technology partners. This test has shown that our 5G coverage footprint on our world class network can be extended without compromising 4G and NBIOT customer experience and is the first step in being able to carefully introduce this technology. The test also highlights the ability to achieve spectrum efficiency through enabling multiple services and technologies on the same spectrum resource,” said Lambo Kanagaratnam, Managing Director Optus Networks.

The implementation of this technology will enable Optus to further extend its 5G coverage footprint over a wider area, while leveraging the recent implementation of FDD+TDD 5G carrier aggregation on the mid-band spectrum to bring super-fast 5G speeds to 5G customers.

“Ericsson Spectrum Sharing is a unique solution that enables innovative service providers like Optus to roll out 5G more quickly. It helps to maximise equipment reuse and existing spectrum while rapidly delivering 5G services, paving the way for faster time-to-commercialisation of a new generation of business and consumer opportunities – from augmented and virtual reality to eSports streaming,” said Martin Wiktorin, Ericsson’s Head of Global Customer Unit Singtel.

New mmWave milestone

Pushing the limits of 5G even further Optus, together with Ericsson and Casa Systems, recently broke an Optus network milestone with a single user mmWave reaching peak speeds of over 5Gbps in a controlled environment at its Sydney headquarters, followed by 4.5Gbps in a live commercial environment in Sydney’s Kings Cross. This was all achieved using a Casa Systems AurusAI commercial CPE device on commercial Ericsson Radio Access Network.

“We can’t wait for our customers to start connecting to our mmWave 5G network as commercial devices become available later this year. These speeds are truly incredible and alongside the other benefits of mmWave will help to open- up a raft of new applications for both consumers and enterprise,” added Mr Kanagaratnam.

“Fixed Wireless Access technology plays a significant role in connecting our communities across Australia. Casa Systems’ disruptive approach pushes the boundaries of 5G, opening up new services for consumers and businesses. This collaboration with Optus and Ericsson demonstrates the successful track record of our best-of-breed high-power mmWave CPE solution, the AurusAI,” said Steve Collins, Senior Vice President of Access Devices at Casa Systems.

Optus currently has more than 1300 5G sites across Sydney, Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra as well as key areas outside of these cities.

Fibocom Unveils Private 5G Module FM160-PN

T-Systems will now have the ability to provide its customers with cloud access to IBM’s quantum systems, including multiple quantum computers powered by the 127-qubit IBM Eagle processor. Quantum computing aims to enable calculations that are beyond the means of even the world’s most advanced classical supercomputers. This announcement sees the Deutsche Telekom IT subsidiary embark on the path to providing access to this technology, as well as insights on how it can be applicable to its customers’ businesses. In addition, T-Systems will offer dedicated quantum know-how and training. Customers will have access to T-Systems quantum services tailored to their needs, in a set of different customizable packages. These range from one-day introductory sessions, through to business case proofs-of-concept over several months. The use of IBM Quantum computational resources over the cloud — including Qiskit Runtime, which allows for the optimization and efficient execution of workloads on quantum systems at scale — together with T-Systems’ services, will lower the barrier to quantum computing. This will allow T-Systems to develop and test customers’ use-cases and prepare them for a future with quantum computing. T-Systems aims to host its own quantum infrastructure in the future, assisted by IBM. Accelerating progress towards tomorrow’s solutions Quantum computing is a rapidly emerging technology that harnesses the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems that today’s most powerful supercomputers cannot practically solve. By integrating quantum computing into their portfolio, T-Systems aims to further leverage their leadership position in advisory, cloud services and digital solutions beyond the local markets in key focus industries. The ultimate goal is to provide clients with a seamless experience, incorporated into their cloud landscape, as they look to uncover the potential of quantum computing for their businesses. “Quantum computing will be central to tomorrow’s IT landscape. We are combining quantum and classical computing in a seamless and scalable customer experience.” states Adel Al-Saleh, Deutsche Telekom board member and Chief Executive of T-Systems. “Taking these first decisive steps will lower the access barrier to quantum computing.” IBM has an established track record in quantum computing leadership. The company offers the world’s largest fleet of quantum computers, accessible over the cloud. Al-Saleh continues: “In IBM, we have a trusted partner to deliver this future technology. It is a perfect match for our industry focus and expertise.” “Organizations around the world are beginning to explore how quantum computing will impact their industry and business. By partnering with T-Systems as a cloud provider, we will be able to offer access to quantum technology to an even broader ecosystem. Our team at IBM is excited to support T-Systems’ and their customers’ exploration of, and aspirations for quantum applications for their business operations,” says Scott Crowder, Vice President, IBM Quantum Adoption and Business Development.
